I'm not sure how to copy the full boot message--this is the last bit
on the screen; it scrolls past far too fast for me to read, let alone
copy it by hand. If it would boot, I bet there would be logs, but it
won't.

The motherboard is an ASUS P4S800-MX. According to
this:http://shopper.howstuffworks.com/products/ASUS+P4S800_MX+Motherboard/S=
F-1/PID-21209349
, it's got a SiS chipset.

Does that help?
